question is how do i pronounce the word niece

which is the daughter of your sibling and

knees the joint in your legs all right here are our words

so to say the words we are going to start with exactly the same

two sounds the n e to say the n sound tip of the tongue

touches the back of the top front teeth air moves out of the nose and then

smile nice high flat tongue for that e and that e is nice and long

knee knee and yes we do have a silent k here which we are not going to

say to end the word that's where we have the

difference for nice we are going to have what we

call the soft c which is pronounced as an s

and to do that tip of the tongue is behind the top front teeth are pointing

down air continuously moves out ssss ssss

niece niece niece now for knees

your tongue is going to do exactly the same thing as i described for the s it's

either behind the top front teeth or pointing down it is not touching the

difference is your voice box is on moving and

vibrating for that z sound zzzzz

putting the voicing on for that z sound is going to make the e

before it sound a little bit longer all right so let's put these all

together we have niece

and knees niece knees niece niece

niece knees knees knees and now for a sentence

my niece fell and skinned her knees give it a try people are going to notice

the difference if you found this helpful we'd love
